A proposed law that will force food chains to carry proper allergen warnings could be introduced in the coming weeks, it has been reported.

The proposed legislation - dubbed 'Natasha's Law' - has been considered following the death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, who died in July 2016 after she ate a Pret a Manger sandwich laced with sesame seeds not listed on the label.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, Natasha's parents, Nadim and Tanya Ednan-Laperouse, said they are determined their daughter will not have died in vain.

Mr Ednan-Laperouse said: '"Natasha's Law" is right in every sense. It is just being open about what is in food.'

Environment Secretary Michael Gove revealed last year he was considering introducing legislation that would force chains to provide a full list of ingredients on all pre-packaged foods, or clearly label those that could cause allergic reactions.
